"Stop attacking other Democrats."

First, I don't attack.

I defend good Democrats from attacks, even from other Democrats.

Second, Bernard Sanders is not a Democrat, stop pretending that he is or that he is owed any measure of party collegiality.

1/

Everytime I have ever written a thread on Sanders it is in response to something horrible he has publicly done or said against the party, candidates, or its elected members. Don't preach to me about unity when that asshole is out on his latest "Democrats suck" tour.

Third, my thread on Joe Biden is not attack. I had stated I would not support Biden in 2020 and many, many people kept asking to explain why.

So, I did.

Evidence for most of what I wrote can be found on Google. Use it. It's your friend.

2020 is going to be another in a series of significant elections. Who we nominate to lead our party will define who we are for a generation.

In the past 20 years two exceptional human beings & Democratic Presidential candidates have had the office stolen from them.

4/

Part of the reason those candidates lost is because members of our own party were too willing to jump on the attack against our nominees.

When that happens it weakens the nominee and opens the door to an all out assault that our nominees often have to face alone.

David Axelrod, Joe Biden, Robert Reich, Claire McCasskill and many others were too willing to attack Clinton in 16, and too goddamned slow to defend her.

Clinton's great defenders were people like Cummings, Waters, & Jesse Jackson.

They know how to do politics.

6/

I refuse to support anyone who, for whatever reason, chose to try to kneecap the first woman to be nominated to a major political party in our nation's history. Hillary Clinton deserves better than she got.

Pointing out who did what is not attacking.

7/

These people have to know that there are going to be consequences for giving aid to the Republican Party.

The same shit keeps happening and we don't learn from it.

Stop that.
